name: memory_scopes
title: Two memory primitives with different lifecycle scopes
summary: The `store:` field is the closed lifecycle catalog (`ephemeral | none | session | persistent`). Each `memory` primitive picks ONE scope; multiple memories with different scopes coexist in one program.
topic: memory
primitives:
  - persona
  - memory

// The closed memory lifecycle catalog:
//   ephemeral  — single-turn; cleared as the writing step returns
//   none       — alias for ephemeral; explicit "intentionally amnesiac"
//   session    — lives across the conversation; cleared on disconnect
//   persistent — survives reconnect, scoped by tenant + user

persona Tutor {
    domain: ["education"]
    tone: friendly

    cite_sources: false
}

// Per-turn scratch — gone the moment the step returns.
memory ScratchPad {
    store:     ephemeral
    retrieval: exact
}

// Lives for the duration of the conversation.
memory SessionState {
    store:     session
    retrieval: semantic
}

// Survives reconnect — tenant + user scoped.
